Habitat for Humanity Halton-Mississauga-Dufferin (Habitat HMD) is part of the renowned global Habitat for Humanity network, recognized for its commitment to mobilizing community resources to provide safe and decent homes for families in need. Since its inception in 1999, Habitat HMD has completed 92 affordable housing units—including 74 units for families living in the Halton Region, City of Mississauga, and Dufferin County, as well as 18 tiny homes for Indigenous communities and as accessory residential units.
Habitat’s unique housing model offers a pathway to homeownership, filling a critical gap in the housing continuum. The organization is dedicated to addressing Canada’s housing crisis and aims to transform more lives by delivering a minimum of 130 new housing units to partner families between 2022 and 2032.
Our strategic plan lays out a roadmap for Habitat HMD over the next 10 years, and is broken into 3 chapters.
Like the homes we build, chapter 1 of our strategic journey begins with the establishment of a strong foundation. In phase 2 and 3, we will mobilize the partnerships and assets we have established, to grow and expand our housing program and revenue generation models so that we can greatly increase our ability to scale up the number of families we are serving.
